NBCUniversal has an 80 percent stake in GM and Vivendi 20 percent. Originally a French waterworks, Vivendi acquired Universal Motion Pictures and Entertainment in 2001 in an attempt to build the world's leading media and entertainment powerhouse, but it quickly fell into trouble due to overexpansion.

In 2004, GE acquired 80% of Vivendi Universal Entertainment for $14 billion, and restructured its assets with Vivendi's Universal Studios and cable network to create NBCUniversal.

Since then, NBC has owned more cable networks, which has increased its appeal to advertisers and increased its bargaining opportunities with cable providers through packaged sales.

NBCUniversal's businesses include NBC and 10 television stations in the United States, 16 television stations under Telemundo, which together have a 30% market share in the United States, Universal Pictures and four theme parks, 24 cable channels such as CNBC, and six digital media outlets.

The merger of GE and Vivendi Universal has enabled NBCUniversal to have more cable and satellite channels in Europe and Asia, as well as Universal Studios and Universal theme parks, forming a super library of 5,000 movies and 35,000 hours of TV programming. ”

Listening to the introduction of his subordinates, Andy is more and more fond of this ready-made media kingdom, as long as he can take control of this kingdom, carry out some operations, and finally complete the privatization, then he will become a media predator on a par with News Corp. and Time Warner.

can ascend to the sky in one step, who is willing to start from scratch and slowly accumulate strength for counterattack, after all, the market share is so large, it has long been divided up by these behemoths.

"I investigated GE CEO Jeff Immelt and analyzed it, and before I met, I wanted to know how to deal with this person. Also, I have conducted a more in-depth investigation of NBCUniversal, and I want to have a clear understanding of the dilemmas and problems they face. ”

Andy thought for a moment and said to the think-tank in the video, "I'm leaving for New York tomorrow." ”

"Understood, boss. ”

Ending the video connection, Andy sat in the boss's chair and thought quietly, in recent years, Universal Pictures has not had any particularly famous "hit" movies, unlike Disney has the "Story" series, Warner Bros. has the "Harry Potter" series, and Paramount has the "Transformers" series. Finally, there was a "Quick Rush" that was pried away by him.

This has made Universal Pictures seem quite ordinary in the whole of Hollywood in recent years. This has also led to the fact that in the competition of the six major Hollywood studios in the past many years, Universal Pictures' results have not been too good, and it has always hovered in the middle of the bottom.

Although Universal Pictures has not performed as well as other major Hollywood studios, this does not prevent Universal Pictures from being a film company with an annual box office profit of more than 100 million US dollars and a valuation of nearly 10 billion US dollars, and it is also one of the largest in the world.

If you can really join NBCUniversal, then the addition of Summit Entertainment and Weinstein Pictures will undoubtedly make Universal Pictures even stronger.

Thinking of this, Andy began to think anxiously that once he became the owner, the board of directors would definitely dominate the distribution of power, there is no doubt about it, the president of Universal Pictures, the president of NBC, must be replaced by his own people, Carl and the-stirring stick will naturally be stuffed into the board of directors by him...

Picking up the phone, Andy called Rob Freman, CEO of Summit Entertainment, and did not tell the other party that he was going to acquire NBCUniversal, but simply chatted with the other party to learn about the recent company arrangements and operations of Summit Entertainment and the next level.

Rob Freman's talent in the film industry is undoubted, and the former CEO of Paramount, running a medium-sized film company is absolutely handy, especially with abundant resources and sufficient funds, and now Summit Entertainment is completely on the fast track of rapid development.

"Boss, "Ghost Record" has entered the publicity period, and it will become our company's main film for Halloween this year... ”

"Well, whether it can create a miracle depends on the publicity, I have great expectations for this pseudo-documentary, I hope it can become our horror film fist product, don't be stingy with funds in publicity, after all, this movie has almost no cost to us, if the box office is hot, then immediately start the second one, and strive to make it a gold-absorbing series of movies. ”

Speaking of "Ghost Shadow", Andy is also very much looking forward to the realization of the box office miracle of this pseudo-documentary in his own hands, whether it is the superb vision of Carl's product or the rise of Summit Entertainment, it will be the most colorful.

After the end of the call, Andy began to consider in advance the personnel arrangements and power structure after joining NBCUniversal, although this is a bit of a marriage is not even married, just thinking about naming the child, too anxious, but take precautions, even if you can't join NBCUniversal in the end, you have to prepare for the next group integration.

At night, in the dimly lit bedroom, two elongated and distorted shadows are entangled.

"Are you really going to buy NBCUniversal?!"

“。。。 How many times have you asked? Can you be attentive?"

Charlize wrapped his arms around Andy's neck, his eyes were as white as silk, his pretty face was a strange red glow, he bit his horns, and said in a trembling voice: "Aren't I shocked, woo... ”

"Shock Nima, make you distracted! See if I don't kill you... ”

The next morning, Andy kissed little Laura fiercely on the white and tender little face, and then said goodbye to Charlize, who was ruddy and a little reluctant, and flew to Little Versailles in a helicopter.

The motorteam in the small Palace of Versailles had been waiting for a long time, Andy did not waste any more time, sat in the car, and the motorcade quickly drove away and headed straight for the airport.

On the private tarmac of the airport, Andy, who got out of the car, saw Scarlett, who was wearing a dark red vest with tied hair, and a denim hot KU with raw edges, standing in front of the door of the private jet.

Andy couldn't help but smile, quickly climbed the suspension ladder, came to Scarlett's side, reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, bowed his head and kissed her and smiled, "Have you visited?

Scarlett raised her eyebrows and mocked as she walked into the cabin with her arms around Andy's bear waist: "It's not bad overall, but seeing those golden decorations makes people feel like an upstart, which is very in line with the taste of that nouveau riche's daughter!"

Andy's unnatural corners of his mouth twitched, shook his head and smiled, and hit her fat buttock hard, in exchange for Scarlett's coquettish eyes, sat down in his seat, and after fastening his seatbelt, Andy smiled: "Have you connected with O'Black Bull's campaign team?"

"Well, this time when I go back to New York, there will be one, after all, New York is my home stadium, the first one in New York, the effect will be better, O'Black Bull is very grateful for my support, and invited me to participate in his inauguration ceremony. Scarlett said to Andy with a calm smile on her face and raised her eyebrows.

Andy pursed his lips, shook his head and smiled: "This guy is confident, he started to ripple before the election campaign ended, maybe he thought you were in love with him, haha." ”

Scarlett glanced at Andy who was smiling evilly, and then said with a smile: "This is a common problem of you men, always self-righteous, if you look at you more, you will narcissistically think that you have taken a fancy to you, one by one like a dog who has made a mistake." ”

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, and at this time, the feeling of weightlessness came, but it quickly became stable, unbuckled his seat belt, reached out and raised his eyebrows at Scarlett and invited: "Now the dog invites you to visit Super Daiso, how about it?"

Scarlett smiled and put her hand on Andy's hand, and laughed in her smoking voice, "The dog is so good!"

"Whew... ”

Andy picked up Scarlett, slapped her PIGU and barked twice, and laughed: "So, next, the dog wants... You're up!"

"Poof—"

"What a bastard!" Scarlett scolded, a little annoyed.
